Tue, 16 May 2017 09:45:12 +0000http://belgacom-france.com/2017/05/16/finding-accommodation-when-youre-travelling-in-a-group/<p>Whether you're enjoying a summer break before university or you're travelling together with several families, finding the right accommodation to suit your group isn't always easy. While some large properties are available, you may want to consider other factors when narrowing them down. These could include the number of beds, as well as whether they have the facilities you need to relax.</p>
<p><strong>Look at bed space rather than just the number of bedrooms</strong></p>
<p>Particularly large groups may want to look at the number of beds on offer rather than just the number of bedrooms. Some properties contain sofa beds, which provide up to two extra spaces. In addition, when you're travelling as part of a family, you may want to consider whether the accommodation you're considering provides travel cots for younger members, which frees up even more space.</p>
<p><strong>Consider renting more than one property</strong></p>
<p>On some occasions, you may struggle to find properties that provide enough room for everyone in your group. This is especially true when looking at <a href="http://www.ceahotel.com.au/" target="_blank">city accommodation</a>, as this usually means renting apartments or smaller houses. When this is the case, invest a little time in looking at apartment blocks that contain more than one property for rent. You may also want to reach out to the person managing the accommodation you're considering, as they could have more properties nearby for your consideration. When doing this, move quickly to put down a deposit or make a booking so that others don't get in there and ruin your plans.</p>
<p><strong>Balance activities with rest and recharge time</strong></p>
<p>Finding a space for everyone to rest their head isn't the only factor you should consider when arranging group accommodation. When lots of you are travelling together, you need to ensure you're within easy reach of the activities that appeal to you, and you need facilities that will allow you to relax. When self-catering, make sure there's a decent-sized kitchen with plenty of room in the fridge for everyone's drinks and snacks. If you're looking at houses and villas, look for decent pools that are sizeable enough for everyone to relax around. Finally, make sure there's either a reliable car hire company or a regular public transport system nearby so you can all move smoothly when exploring the locale.</p>
<p>With a little forward planning, arranging group accommodation doesn't always have to induce stress. Once you complete your booking, you can look forward to a getaway that'll create lasting memories for everyone in attendance.&nbsp;</p>
What to Pack for a Self-Drive Boating Holidayhttp://belgacom-france.com/2017/04/24/what-to-pack-for-a-self-drive-boating-holiday/
Mon, 24 Apr 2017 10:52:50 +0000http://belgacom-france.com/2017/04/24/what-to-pack-for-a-self-drive-boating-holiday/<p>When you're ready for a new adventure, few experiences beat taking on the role of a skipper and setting off on a self-drive boating holiday. Whether it's a trip around the Broken Bay-Hawkesbury system or a wild adventure at Lake Glenbawn, <a href="http://www.sydneyboathire.com.au/self-drive/" target="_blank">hiring a boat</a> allows for lots of freedom and the chance to craft your own itinerary. To get more from your first boating experience, take some time to prepare the essentials.</p>
<p><strong>Pack enough food for your onboard self-catering experience</strong></p>
<p>A key benefit of using self-drive boat hire for your next holiday is being able to explore pubs and restaurants along the waterways. However, you may also want to pack enough food for snacks and some last minute meals. Boats feature a fridge for perishable goods as well as a hob and oven. In some cases, you may even find a microwave. To get more from your expedition, consider saving a little fridge space for storing local produce you find along the way.</p>
<p><strong>Pack clothing that's appropriate for a boat trip</strong></p>
<p>Don't just pack clothes that are weather friendly, choose some that make boat life easier too. Hard wearing gloves save your hands from blisters and calluses when working locks and wheels, while non-slip deck shoes are essential for staying safe in wet conditions. If you're heading to an area where you'll encounter lots of splashes, pack waterproof overalls. Finally, consider packing soft suitcases, as they take up less space than hard ones.</p>
<p><strong>Create a luxury self-drive boat hire experience with extra power</strong></p>
<p>If you can't stand the thought of heading on holiday without your creature comforts, bring some extra long leads to get more from your onboard electricity source. With leads that extend close to the deck, you can play music while you're outside. While the electricity on board supports charging phones, hair straighteners and portable fridges for keeping beer cool, it won't tolerate domestic appliances such as kettles and toasters. Instead, try bringing stove top alternatives that won't blow a fuse.</p>
<p><strong>Bring a first aid kit for when things go wrong</strong></p>
<p>Nobody likes to think they'll encounter rocky times when on their boating holiday, but it's best to prepare for all eventualities. Help is never far away when you're navigating the Australian waterways, so just the basics will do:</p>
<ul>
<li>Medication you need to take and basic pain relief, such as paracetamol</li>
<li>Bandages and plasters for small wounds</li>
<li>Sun screen and after sun to protect against and treat burns</li>
<li>Bug spray and antihistamines for handling critters that love to nip</li>
</ul>
<p>Finally, don't forget to familiarise yourself with your route and keep a list of emergency contact numbers. With a little advance planning, your boating holiday will run smoothly.</p>
Ten Things To Take On Your Hen Night Party Bushttp://belgacom-france.com/2017/03/22/ten-things-to-take-on-your-hen-night-party-bus/
Wed, 22 Mar 2017 12:45:02 +0000http://belgacom-france.com/2017/03/22/ten-things-to-take-on-your-hen-night-party-bus/<p>Gone is the time when your hen night was likely to be just you and a few mates having a drink in your local pub. These days it's all a much more exciting affair--and you're going to need to be well prepared for it! If your maid of honour has booked you a <a href="http://www.goodazgoldtours.com.au/party-bus-hire" target="_blank">party bus</a> to help you see the night through in style, make sure you've got the essentials with you before you leave.</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>A basic first aid kit. Accidents happen, so make sure you're well stocked with the essentials: painkillers, plasters, antiseptic cream and cushioned pads for high heel pain.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>A bit of emergency cash. Hopefully the group will stay together and everything will go smoothly--but make sure you've got the cab fare home just in case, and ensure there's enough money available if the bus needs to be refilled at a petrol station.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>A pair of flat shoes. There comes a point in every hen night when your gorgeous high heels just aren't worth it any longer, so be sure to take some flats to change into when you've had enough.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Details for the bus hire company. Just in case anything goes awry, make sure you can easily get in touch with the company who own your party bus to smooth out any difficulties.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Everyone's favourite drinks. There's nothing wrong with a bit of celebration on the way to your venue, so make sure you have a few tipples for your party to enjoy as things are getting started!</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Plenty of water. Water is an essential part of keeping going all night long and still feeling like a human being the next day. Alternate between drinks and don't skimp on the H2O!</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Some sensible snacks. Eating isn't cheating, so be sure to have a few sensible snacks (nuts are great, as they're full of protein) to keep you going.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Spare tights or stockings. There's nothing more annoying than laddering your hosiery halfway through the night and being stuck with the tear for hours. Make sure you pack a spare in case of emergencies.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The perfect playlist. Music sets the scene and gets you all in the party mood, so make sure you pick out the perfect tunes in advance. If your party bus doesn't have a sound system, pick up a set of affordable bluetooth speakers and play your music straight from your phone.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Your phone charger. Speaking of your phone, it would be annoying to be without it--so make sure you have a car-adapted charger so you can plug it in as the bus takes you to your destination!</p>
</li>
